Thank you guys for the unbelievably kind and non-patronizing comments on my last post. I didn't mean to sounds complainy or attack anyone, but you guys seem to understand what I was trying to say and it means a lot. Yay for awesome readers! Heartz x10000.

So a while ago, Rumi sent Stephanie a dress that was too small for her. It ended up being too small for Stephanie too, so she handed it over to muah. Look! We're like our own little blogger postal service!

Today I wore it for only like the billionth time and I swear it has magic Rumi germs on it. And I mean germs in the best way possible. Like fairy dust. This lovely little number put everyone around me in a good mood today-the teacher that normally hates me wanted to know how my day was going and said she liked my paper, and my friend and I won the swing dance competition for gym! I owe it all to the dress, the fact that my friend has been dancing for 11 years (5 hours a day, 9 in the summer) and that she led has NOTHING to do with it.

One thing that is so fantastic about the dress is that the color palette is pretty much the kind one leaves behind at The Children's Place in 4th grade-magenta, teal, and juicy orange-but the silhouette is more that of a 50's housewife. Can I hear a whoop whoop for age irony?

Hey this is not related to the post but in Montreal on national radio every morning there is very popular program in which they talk about different subjects. A few weeks ago they talked about blogs and they mentioned yours and said it was very funny, written by a young girl who likes fashion and really is fashionable (yes, it was a little patronizing, but really not that much.) I thougt you might want to know! and I guess this outfit proves them right.

As a precedent, I made this account solely to comment on this blog.Which probably does sound creepy, but at 15, I'm willing to make that risk. And I just realized that I didn't even need to make an account to comment, but, c'est la vie. I hate patronizing as much as the next girl, but you really are pretty awesome. You're like a mini Anna Wintour, minus the spinster quality. Je t'aime!

You are so lucky to have snow! I'm dying for some snow so I can A) take a picture in my new red military style dress and B) do all things snow related in it.I ADORE that dress! The colours are divine. The pattern is almost identical to a vinage blue and white polka dot dress I have. Love the blog!

That second picture has my heart! You have such an eye for color. I wonder if people were more friendly because you were dressed more femininely (I don't think that's a word) than usual? Sometimes I wonder about that.

That dress makes me very happy too! It's true that an outfit can make your whole day better, when I don't feel "right" about what I'm wearing I just feel off the whole day... and the complete opposite when I'm in an awsome outfit!I'm glad that you spoke up last post, about the age thing. I mentioned that in a post from a few weeks ago too, ageism is really something that has always bothered me. Society today is so obsessed with age, either the extremely young or "too old" for this or that. I wish people would judge less upon one's age, it's not WHO they are it's just a number!<3<3<3

okay, the fact that you have a swing dance competition in gym class is just beyond not fair. i had to go to a jewish centre on the south side to learn how to swing dance. and i was, like 17 at the time. Not fair.

You're so cute, Tavi! :) I had to start reading your blogs after I saw your cute pictures on Weardrobe (Psst, I'm Christine) You are quite the prodigy! I remember when I was tweleve, the only thing I knew how to do was collect beanie babies! You're a genius.

Hello! Okay, I just found your blog, but can I just say, I love you already. I know you probably get tired of comments on your age, but you are blowing my mind, girl! You come off as cooler and way more intelligent than most of the 20-somethings I know. So, yeah. I'm a new reader, for sure!

I love the styling with the socks and shoes - adds a needed 'grounding' ('scuse the pun) edge to the outfit.

Plus, I adore you hair...mainly because it's so similar to my cut! A fringed bob always seems to look fine and edgy enough to not have to do too much with. I was looking back on your own posts and marveling how different you look with long hair!

I just wanted to let you know that I had THE MOST BADASS JACKET from The Children's Place when I was like, 6. It was reversible. And green. And printed. Ugh, so good. And this post made me nostalgic for it. That is all.

I don't even like pink. I have a serious aversion to it since an overdose of it in childhood (thanks mom), but this dress makes me happy. Mostly though, I see that it makes you happy, and I wonder if that is why you had such a positive reaction from people today. I'm gonna get all psychological (its my vocation, bear with me), but I have outfits like this too. I put them on and its like some magical happy powers come over me and the world is an entirely better place! (We actually have what are called "mirror neurons" in our brains that may attest to some of this reflecting on the people you encountered today, but I digress.

PS: In regards to your last blog, "Scare 'em with studs" is the new "Kill 'em with kindess"

Hello. I was just introduced to your blog today and I absolutely adore your style, as well as some of the photography you've posted.I was curious as to what kind of camera you use for your self-portraits. They are so quaint and lovely.

and also, you are currently my main obsession, which sounds quite creepy and stalkerish but really isn't. :D i've never been interested in fashion before, really, but now i'm trying to make an effort do wear something interesting every once in while. so that's a good thing. ^^
